College student killed after getting into car she mistook for Uber

Women are always being cautioned to be careful on a night out because, unfortunately, it’s still a very dangerous world out there. Recently, a 21-year-old college student was reported missing, but has since been confirmed dead by her father.

Samantha Josephson’s tragic story began when she got into the back of a stranger’s car, having mistaken it for her Uber. The actual Uber driver that had been assigned to her, canceled the ride after she failed to show up around 2 am Friday morning in Columbia, South Carolina.

Police have released that the 21-year-old student got into a dark-colored car, an alleged Chevrolet Impala.

It is with tremendous sadness and of a broken heart that I post this! I will miss and love my baby girl for the rest…

After a day of desperate searching and general panic and concern, her father, Seymour Josephson, posted to social media that Samantha had died.

“I will miss and love my baby girl for the rest of life. Samantha is no longer with us but she will not be forgotten. It is extremely hard to write this and post it but I love her with all my heart. I could continue to write about her but it kills me. I sit here and cry while looking at the picture and write this,” he posted to Facebook.

Samantha was a political science student at The University of South Carolina. The university also confirmed the sad news:
